Do carrots really make you see better?
Answers:
According to Snopes.com, a site that specializes in proving or disproving urban legends, carrots will not help you improve your eyesight.
So, how did the story start? Again, according to Snopes, it began during World War 2. The British were in the process of developing radar which would, of course, help in their battle against German warplanes.
In order to keep the Germans from catching on to this new technology, the British spread the rumor that their pilots were eating lots and lots of carrots. Hence, they were able to see better, and could shoot down more German planes. It was all a kind of hoax.
That said, there is a little truth to the theory that carrots improve vision. Snopes (as well as about.com) notes that beta-carotene (found in carrots) may be helpful in combating cataracts and macular-degeneration.

They contain Vitamin A which is good for your skin and eyes.
They say because of the carotene. They that about everything else what the benefits of this and that.
Hey contain carotene and provitamin A which are good for your eyes
Carrots contain carotene, which the body can turn into Vitamin A. This vitamin, also known as retinol, gets turned into retinal (note the change of spelling from "o" to "a"), which is a chemical in the eye that is involved in night vision. So, yes, carrots could make you see better in the dark, if you have a Vitamin A deficiency.
